As already mentioned a few times, a hairdresser in Japan / South East Asia is somewhat different than in Germany. And as for me right now not so much going on and no greater Trip pending, I thought I report once on this topic daily.
In the Kanto region 关 东 around 东京 Tokyo, there is often little better hairdressers. Here, men can get their hair already for 10 € in order, and there are "up" of course no limit ! So I'm at "my" hairdresser in 草 加 Soka in Saitama 埼 玉 for "wash, cut, put" shave and a good 1400 yen, paid about 11 €. Wherein the washing with shampoo has cost 2 euros extra. In
Kyoto 京都 however, require the hairdressers, unfortunately, much more for their skills. On average ( haha ) it starts at 2000 yen, about 17 €. And here is no upper limit seen. One of the reasons I was in Hong Kong the hairdresser. Said was more expensive even when standing on the price tag, naja , Touri - impacting halt ...
Since this is already something here and the summer in Japan is now fully arrived, I thought, Top around little less would definitely do well! Also, I had through a few physical complaints again plays a full beard (about 3 weeks ...) and I thought to myself, other than the professional will the eh not going on, so off to the hairdresser. On Saturday
, the 11.7. It was time. I asked my "roommate" and colleagues, whether it is close to were not a "affordable" hairdresser. And he recommended me one that is in NEN Ner Mall for 10's makes. Well, I thought to myself, yes you can afford it anyway.
The shop was a bit strange. You had to pay only to NEM machines and then got ne number as before the employment office ... But there except me only a Maltese (from the island of Malta ...) there was, it was my turn the same. And the joy that it should be an international shop was great! And acknowledged that Japanese and German before the smartest and so ... Well , sometimes they have something ridiculous stereotypes ...
Anyway, I thought to myself, if I already do, then "right", so I said: "全部 で 3ミリ ください "" All in 3 mm please ". No sooner said than done. The problem, cut low at the hairdresser she an only cheer head hair! "頭 だけ です, ね"
Mhm, I think when I left the store now, I looked out for the Japanese nor dangerous than even that! Top around 3 mm, bottom around determined 6-7 mm ... So I had to
now but still allow a visit of the "normal" to me remove the beard. In the first she wanted to invite alone for the above-mentioned have 2000 yen! Oha, I thought that you'd have to think about before you ... In other stores, it looked no different, and so I remained then in the last "hang" but because I have not wanted to keep his beard ... This
Shop, however, was again very interesting! Here is a short memory minutes :
I like this: "Can I also only shave the beard?" (Because that's apparently not always so common is ....)
He said: " Mhm actually know ... "
to his wife:" Let's Can or "
you"? Jaaaah ( reluctantly) I suppose so, "he
". contact but briefly, yes we have grad other customers, is the OK "I
:" Sure! "
I Then when drann should be, the excitement was great at one time, for I was indeed during the previous conversation too, but apparently became my full height apparently only now ... In any case, was covered at one time all left and the daughter who is 12, was fetched to see me, for a 2 meters large was not with them in the store and they (1.45 m) but finally play volleyball in school! Did I also do sports, no, oh sorry, I could make it yet but certainly some of my size? (Everyone laughs, oh man, if I get always a €, when I asked a Japanese to a piece of my length, I would have is outdated already)
He: "So, Please excuse this incident, but that's so exciting! Where do you come from "I
:" Germany "(you remember, the land of intelligent people ...)
all:" heee ! ! Germany "
other Customer:" What actually speak in Germany for ne language
He and She: "Well German of course ;-)
And then began the procedure! Because to be shaved in Japan is not "do" just It is an art form! ( Well a bit excessive, but it is definitely accessible to, and is the according well ritualized )
First, a one beard-softening- applied remedies , then a warm towels down on the beard which then cause together with the medium that can shave the beard well. In addition, there is, I think Aloe Vera it, something that soothes the skin, releasing a pleasant fragrance when it comes into contact with the towel! The is really great!
is then shaved. This happens with virtually no touch! The first shave I still thought that would have terrified to touch me, but that's just the art of shaving ! Sure, the skin is tightened but irgendiwe it happen all without touching them!
He: " Hmm, so I shaved a beard never other Japanese have beards "
Me: "Aso ? ! apology "(That was good!)
He:" Oh, it's okay "
end She confessed to me then that she was afraid that I could no Japanese, and almost not them speak, but I was anyway pretty good.
However, some critics then but at this point, because in the end I was not entirely satisfied with the performance, even if it is really easy been added. But the Japanese seem to know not quite what all the beard area of a European's heard! On the neck, they can always be some places available and always sideburns! This time even really mega-sideburns!
Well, at least he gave me then razor for free with NEN given. (Which I took from NEM compartment, where he ne Head or NEN chair used had ...)
conclusion when, in Kyoto since then not a haircut! This will only eur ! (In Osaka they are also a bit cheaper, but note the travel costs ...) If you (the men ) then it should in the enjoyment a barber visit come in Japan, sneezed the procedure but afterwards you wonder about not the result! ;-)
Others are actually even more excited about visiting hairdresser in Japan, so this is indeed a very objective report, let but quite good in integrate the overall situation.
hp @ Mama, yes 3 mm! But in the heat in my room (34 degrees yesterday after work!) The only sensible!
